The first time the game gives you control is weird though.

How so?

This will be my first Infamous game

Me waiting for this game right now

 

[Loudninja]

Sorry I've been too busy playing the game. It's fun as hell, and the graphics are fantastic. I'm going full evil. The first time the game gives you control is weird though.

Ha I know what you mean.

Sounds fantastic though.

Are you having a seizure?

Fuck those screens. Next Friday is so far away.

Oh well, still have MGS and FF to hold me over.

Couldn't resist took one more, now I am officially done haha

This shot alones makes Watch_Dogs graphics looks like a PS2 game. The details on this screenshot and the atmosphere are incredible. It doesn't feel like that classic "gray" game, even if it's in a dark area, the colors on the streetlights and the Neon signs makes it stand out very beautifully. Man, I think I'm going to end up buying a PS4 much, much earlier than I expected just to play this game.

I have been trying to avoid comparing the two but Ubisoft aiming for the lowest common denominator (ps3,XB360,WiiU) has come back to slap them in the face hard. The fidelity gap between the two is downright embarrassing.

Strange QTE that almost seems out of place.

Someone who isn't using TV speakers comment on the audio mix please.

 

[SniperHunter]

I am convinced Ubisoft nuked PS4 version of Watch Dogs to match the Xbone version. All the shaders and shininess is gone, manabyte is probably right about it

 

[Loudninja]

Someone who isn't using TV speakers comment on the audio mix please.

Hard for me to tell what all the ambient sound is because of the sound of the rain. But you can hear the pedestrians talk from time to time, but they're not really chatty, you can hear cars and horns and car alarms while running on the streets and rooftops.



The music that plays when you're in the city is simple and low tones, not loud.



This was one area that I was worried about after reading previews, but I'm happy to say I am pleased with it, Destruction sounds good and so does the fireball, the shotgun like shot sounds great and the melee is pretty good.

All in all I feel like it definitely has enough oomph and more than the previous two for sure.

I'm using 5.1. Seems like I have to put my speakers at a higher volume than normal. Think I'm at like -15db; when I'm usually around -22db.

Thanks, missed that. Certainly sounds better than 2. That game sounded like 80% of the ambient sounds were missing.

I feel this has more to do with the PS4 itself. KZ4, Resogun and Dead Nation all need to be turned up higher than usual for me.

 

[Unknown One]

It reminds me of the first reveal of the division, well almost.

Makes more sense that Watch Dogs is being held back by last gen versions. I hope folks aren't still expecting the PC version to look like E3 2012.

You mean the spray painting/tagging segment? I believe that comes up in the rest of the game as well, tagging various locations in the city.

 

[hydruxo]

The thing that is blowing me away about that screen is that this is an open world game, and that we're not even 6 months into this gen yet but we're already getting graphics like this.

These shots are also compressed as hell since they're just from the Share button and this is a launch window open world game from a studio who wasn't known for tech and graphics last gen. Just amazing.

Oh yes dude you should remove the one of those.

It honestly feels like 60fps to me.

Do gaming outlets have review copies yet?

I haven't heard any hype tweets from them, which is strange

This is what I'm going to do this weekend: play Infamous: Second Son, eat once in a while, and occasionally use the bathroom.

Only thing I'm wondering about is the touchpad intergration. And how fluid and responsive it is. Only thing I'm questioning atm.
